<p>The <a href="http://scratch99.com/products/remove-widget-titles/" rel="nofollow ugc">Remove Widget Titles</a> plugin removes the title from any widget that has a title starting with the “!” character.</p>
<h4>Why Use It?</h4>
<p>This allows you to give widgets a title in the backend for convenience – so you can quickly see which widget is which, rather than having to open them to work out what they are for – without having to show the title on the front end.</p>
<h4>How To Use (once plugin is installed)</h4>
<p>If you have a widget for which you do not want the title to appear on the front end of your site, simply add the “!” character to the start of the widget title (in Appearance -> Widgets).</p>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin requires WordPress 2.6 or above.</li>
<li>I am not currently aware of any compatibility issues with any other WordPress plugins.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Similar Plugins</h4>
<p>There is another plugin called <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-widget-title/" rel="ugc">Hide Widget Title</a>, but that leaves the widget title in the page source and hides it using CSS (adding another http request which slows load time slightly). Remove Widget Titles actually removes the widget title from the HTML. The plugin is only 7 lines of code, so it is extremely light and has minimal impact on performance.</p>
<h4>Support</h4>
<p>This plugin is officially not supported (due to my time constraints), but if you leave a comment on the plugin’s home page or <a href="http://www.scratch99.com/contact/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact me</a>, I’ll try to help if I can.</p>

<p>The StudioPress Metro theme adds a span tag and class to widget titles using a filter in the theme’s functions.php file, and then styles that class with CSS. Unfortunately this method is not compatible with plugins that escape html in widget titles.</p>
<p>Metro Theme Widget Titles removes the default Metro widget title filter and replaces it with a filter that is compatible with plugins.</p>
<p><strong>Added in version 0.2</strong></p>
<p>If you’ve updated the original Metro theme to HTML5 this plugin will restore the look of the “Leave a Reply” title in the comment form. It may also undo any change you’ve made to that text. If it does, you can edit the text in the plugin’s filter, live with the change, or deactivate the plugin.</p>
<p>If you are using the Metro Pro theme, this plugin will restore the look of your widget titles, comments title, and “Leave a Reply” title to the old Metro theme look.</p>
<p><strong>This plugin is intended for websites using the Genesis framework, and specifically the StudioPress Metro theme</strong></p>


Metro Theme Widget Titles

Out of the box, StudioPress Metro theme widget titles are not compatible with some plugins. This plugin fixes that.
